As I enter the final weeks (not sure how many, but I know it's not a whole lot) of my Susquehanna career, I still cannot wait for Spring Break. Even if I was driving home for the eight-hour ride to Maine, I still would be overjoyed to get away from class and get away from Selinsgrove. It's not that Selinsgrove is a terrible place - it is safe, grassy, and warmer than Maine - but it can just get way to repetitive and boring.
Nevertheless, in a few days I will be across the country in Clayton, CA. Where is Clayton? It is about 35 or so minutes from San Francisco and a bit closer to Oakland. Why Clayton? My girlfriend lives out there. Her family moved there a few years ago from Downingtown, PA. A couple summer's ago I went out there and it was gorgeous. During the summer the temperature regularly reaches the upper 90's and low 100's. Unfortunately, Spring Break doesn't fall during this time, and the weather will be a bit colder. After checking weather.com, it looks like the temperature will be high 50's, low 60's, and sunny. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
While on break, there are few things we have planned. I would love to go to a Golden State Warriors game (I'm an NBA junkie), we're going into San Francisco at least once, eating at In-N-Out Burger (it's amazing), going hiking a few days as they live right next to a mountain, and go golfing. Her dad also has business in Lake Tahoe, where we are staying at the Harrahs Casino , so we'll go skiing one day and maybe utilize the casino the next. On a side note, my great-grandparents loved gambling, as do my grandparents, so I may have that in my blood too. I don't have a lot of money right now, but I do love Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, Roulette, and especially gambling on sports.
I hope I don't go broke, and plan on having a great time away from reality for a week. California is truly different from anything on the East Coast, it just is. All I want is some nice weather and a fun time, and I will be truly pleased.
